Check out our previous projects, from large-scale industrial demolitions to structural alterations.
PORT OF TILBURY DOCKS
DEMOLITION, GROUNDWORKS & ENABLING
Following the unexpected collapse of a one-grain silo and subsequent demolition of a further 9 silos. Evolution was then contracted to demolish the 10 existing reinforced concrete silo bases and replace them with new ones to allow installation of new mechanical plant and silo housings in the new year.
We are also employed to install piled foundations to allow the installation of new stair towers. Structural repairs to tunnels below the silo bases are in our package as well as waterproofing solutions to the same area.
THE LAWNS DEMOLITION
ASBESTOS & ENABLING WORKS
Evolution Enabling was tasked with the Demolition, asbestos removal, site setup, hoardings, and client mobilization of the Lawns project. The lawns were a Six/Seven story building in the center of Stoke Newington with heavy passing traffic and a school nearby. With several pinch points, demolition had been undertaken out of hours, with full road closures.
Both standard and long reach demolition specification excavators were employed to reduce the building down to ground level. Foundations were excavated down to 7m and broken out and removed. Pile mats were excavated and constructed and a surplus of over 6000m2 of crushed material was removed off-site.
ORCHARD VILLAGE
DEMOLITION, ASBESTOS & ENABLING WORKS
Evolution were tasked with the asbestos removal, demolition, and working platform construction. Works also comprised of extensive service and utility investigation to enable demolition works.
Due to various works in the area under previous phases and differing main contractors, the state of existing utilities was unknown. We were therefore employed to undertake detailed exploratory works and provide the client with survey information to enable further design works, disconnections to enable demolition and rerouting of existing utilities.
The project is directly opposite a busy school and within an estate that has been subject to previous high-profile construction works.
We employed cutting-edge 24hr sound and dust monitoring systems to ensure the nuisance of demolition and construction works were mitigated. The demolition was undertaken using high-reach excavators with all materials salvaged for re-use either on-site or in the local area. To date, all works have been completed on or ahead of the program.
ST LUKE’S
DEMOLITION & STRUCTURAL ALTERNATION
We were employed to undertake the demolition and structural alteration of 3 listed buildings to the St Luke’s development in Muswell Hill. Our works included full demolition of an element of the structures. Conception, design, and implementation of a temporary works scheme. Full strip out and removal of all timber elements. Excavation and formation of 3 new basements. Conception, design, and implementation of permanent structural steel elements. The construction of all new timber floors. All buildings work to include new internal brickworks and new works to the retained listed façade.
The project was extremely complex due to the fact all 3 buildings were listed. The buildings also sat at the entrance point to a major £56m new development posing significant logistical issues. Despite this, the works were completed on time and on budget.
LEON HOUSE
DEMOLITION & STRUCTURAL ALTERATION
Evolution Enabling were employed to undertake specialist demolition and cutting works to an existing 24 story structure in Croydon High St. The project was programmed to a tight completion schedule with demolition works programed in and around other trades.
Our on-site Management undertook robotic demolition and concrete cutting to parts of the structure with trades works in the vicinity.
Our on-site Management and programming of works have been crucial to ensuring works are carried out safely with minimum disruption to other trades whilst still achieving the dates required by the MC. Noise, dust, and vibration were all being monitored closely to ensure safe working conditions.
We have also undertaken the removal of concrete cladding panels to the exterior of the building on the 23rd floor. The removal of the panels was an extremely high-risk operation with working methods devised, adapted, and monitored by our onsite management team.
To date, we have also drilled through over 1000lm of concrete for the installation of new services within the building.
HILL, OV4
GROUNDWORKS, CIVILS
Evolution were tasked with undertaking the full groundworks package at the Orchard village estate as a follow-on to the demolition, works already undertaken. The project was designed using the latest 3D modeling technology and set out on-site using compatible software.
Full utility infrastructure was installed with large main drain connections, district heating equipment, and power networks.
The RC structure itself is large and has been programmed to be followed by pre-fabricated units. The program for our works was therefore vital to avoid additional costs to the client for storing pre-fabricated units.
The main access to the adjacent school was completely removed as part of our works. This road was reconstructed in a different location on-site without of hours works and complex traffic management during the summer break and completed on program.

HILL, AGAR GROVE
DEMOLITION, ENABLING WORKS, CIVILS, EARTHWORKS & GROUNDWORKS
Evolution were tasked with the asbestos removal, demolition, and enabling works at the Agar Grove estate. The works required logistical planning due to a large amount of asbestos present in the buildings and the tight follow on a program of the piling. Demolition works were undertaken using both high-reach demolition and standard demolition excavators.
All material was crushed for re-use on site. As part of the enabling works a reduced level dig was undertaken and contaminated spoils removed from the site.
Evolution also undertook the removal of a large number of trees to make way for the new development. The trees are due to be replaced at a later date.
